Took in the Funeral.

Frank Lincoln tells story OH the
Hon. Amos j. Cummings and Joe
Howard, Jr., that may have its Datu-
ralization papers. but at least has not
voted in this precinct yet. II was
some years ago when Cummings was
a reporter on the Tribune and How
ard was a special writer on the Her
aid. A celebrated parsonage died,
and for reasons best known to them
selves the relatives desired that no
mention be made of the funeral in the
public prints. Invitations were issued
to those whom they desired to have
present, and the press was to be. rigor-
ously excluded from the church. Un-
known to each other Howard and
Cummings we're both assigned by their
respective papers to obtain an account
of the funeral at all hazards. Cum
mings started out and was delighted
to find that the undertaken who had
charge of the funeral was an old
friend, and after earnest solicitation
he obtained his consent to allow the
journalist to act as an assistant on this
occasion. Amos rugged himself out
in "suit of woe," with black band
around his tile, sombre gloves upon
his hands, and hugh bow of Grape
upon. He found no opposition at the
church door, and as he went in he
saw with great satisfaction horde of
reporters from the various other pa
pers standing disconsolate upon the
curbstone. He passed rapidly up the
center aisle and secured a position
where he could command view of
the ceremonies and recognize the lead
ing people who were present. This
he did, and was storing away in that
Johnsonian memory of his, for he
dared not take pencil notes, and con-
graduating himself on his fortune in
being the only newspaper man present
when he happened to glance at the
chancel to see who the officiating
clergymen were. Judge of his aston
ishment when he discovered, stand
ing next to the Episcopal archbishop
and dressed in the vestments of a
clergyman of the church, his old
friend Joe Howard, Jr., his spectacles
blinking and his bald head shining
like halo as he intcned the services
tor the dead. IL so happened that
Howard had coddled himself with the
idea that he was getting the beat" on
all of his rivals and that he discover
ed Cummings, the picture of woe,
standing among the pall-bears, the
very second that Amos saw him.
They both comprehended the situa-
tion at glance; the simultaneous
wink that each delivered himself of is
said to have been as expressive as it
was Simultaneous Chicago News.
